Winter Egg Production.

Rural New Yorker. :,
This is the proper period for making all
necessary preparations to secure eggs during the
winter months. 1t is safe to say that the ma
iority of those who take an interest In poultry
than in summer. and should receive liberal
supply of eggs; but the mistakes made are IN
proper feeding. In constructing the poul-
try-house and yards consideration should
be gwen to the securing OF the
heat from the sun the greater portion OF the day,
and the house should therefore face the south
east rather than the south as the early morning
is the time when warmth is most required The
yards should be SO arranged as to permit OPEN
air exercise. but the lower portion or tho fence
should be made of boards, two feet from the
ground, in order not only to prevent fowls IN
adjoining yards from fighting with your own
birds but also protection against the WINDS
All that portion OF the fence above the boards
NAV be made of wire.
The great aim in winter is to compel the hens
to scratch, and material tsuch as leaves. cut
straw, etc. should be laid in for that purpose,
while green food should not be overlooked. A
patch of rye sown this fall will be found invau.
able. as it may be cut and thrown into the yards
at any time when not covered with snow. and. IL
sown early, it will make sufficient growth for
that purpose. while cured grass, tender clover
potatoes, turnps and cabbages may be stored
away for providing a variety.
The poultry house should be made SO as to
avoid drafts of air. and should therefore be lined
be arranged, but il must be under control. so as
to govern the draft on damp windy days, or
roup and canker may be the result
To know what preparations should be made,
let it be considered that the failure to secure
eggs in winter is mostly due to overlooking,
pecially of The hen may also be fed
moderately, yet the food may lack the necessary
material with which to provide eggs. But
matter how she is fed, she must be kept busy
and at work In order to compel her ito work OFF
the fat" and thus be always in thrifty condi-
tion- Feeding grain and bulky food combined.
with liberal supply of meat. provided
the hens compelled to scratch
and hunt for the grain. is the secret of obtain
ing eggs at all seasons and in preparing for
winter the poultryman should aim to secure
many advantages, as compared with those of
summer, possible. The size of the yards is
of little Importance in the winter, but open
shed in which the sunlight enters, and the hens
are protected against the Winds will be Of great
service.
Early pullets, no crowding of the hens. sun
light, protection against drafts, dry yards. early
feeding, and heterogeneous food will nearly always
give good results The proper mode of feeding
can be given later. but all necessary prepare
tons must be made now.

September in the Garden.

It may be well to consider how the dry
weather, if it should continue. may affect some
unless they be watered and mulched, it
would be inadvisable 20 put them out in great
numbers; better defer the work till spring
A garden supply can easily be taken caro- OF, SO
the earlier they are got in the better it will be
for them. for they can make strong growth
this fall, if properly tended. As the ground
is very warm vegetation will be quick if
the fall rains should be PLENTIFUL; for
this reason think il will be advisable in
the northern States to defer sowing spinach
seed until late in the month. after which 1t will
make all the growth needed before cold weather
sets in. Cuttings Of currants and gooseberries
planted this month will root quickly, especially
IL they can be watered and mulched they will
make much stronger growth next season than
il left to be put out in the spring. Transplant
ing operations will not take place until next
month. and by that time the rains may be gen.
eral and allow all kinds Of work to proceed as
usual Should they not come sufficiently early,
however, the labor of digging many kinds of
nursery trees will be very heavy, and a good de-
gree Of caution and self-control will be necessary
to take out the roots and not cut them off,
Lawn seeding can 60 on although the month.
with the chance that the grass even on late
sown pieces, will be strong before winter sets
During this month it will be necessary to give
attention to the potting Of those plants intended
for winter blooming, that have been summered
over in the open garden. The Gala, or Ethiop-
ian lily, is one of the most important as 1t is q
general favorite. Use light and rich SOIL Civ
ing 1t good drainage that the water which 1t
needs in abundance may pass off rapidly. If the
plants wanted to bloom early, only Ave
or sxinch pots. and give them no shift while
those for later blooming be shifted into
pots of larger size when the roots reach tho out
eide of the ball of SOIL and can be kept on grow
ing A week or ten days before removing from
the ground such plants as geraniums, begonla,
chrysanthemums bouvardias. and the like, it is
a good plan to cut around the roots, leaving a
ball of soil somewhat smaller than the pot the
plant is to occupy; the result is that great
quantity of fine roots are formed in a short time,
ready to feed Immediately on the new soil that
will be placed between them and the sides of the
pot. Seeds Of perennials, such as pansy, sweet
william. canterbury bell. snapdragon, aquilegia
and hollyhock should be sown early.
